Morning friends. Here comes today&#39;s Tina Christian. Track 8 from I&#39;ll Always Have A Song, and it&#39;s a completely different vibe, but oddly enough, sitting where it sits in the tracklist it works. This was an experiment to see if I could blend blues rock with electronic, and I think it works surprisingly well. Please do boost if you like it, or even if you don&#39;t, it all helps...thanks. #NewMusic

Morning friends. Today&#39;s Tina Christian track was one of those things that happened at stupid o&#39;clock. I was working on a backstory for Tina for the novels and this just kind of came out. I originally wrote the track when we were still in Suno V4 and had to edit parts together because it messed the whole thing up. And the version I created using 4.5, 5 and 5.5 I was never quite satisfied with, but this version captures the emotion of the original version. I think the lyrics te...

Afternoon folks. About 18 months ago Tina did a cover of Blanca&#39;s Different Drum. I had to change the lyrics so that I could bipass Suno&#39;s filters. Well I&#39;ve now updated the cover to the V6 version, so I thought I&#39;d pop it up here. Give it a boost please if you think someone would enjoy it...thanks.

Morning friends. Today&#39;s Tina Christian track is track 10 from the I&#39;ll Always Have a Song album. This is semi autobiographical about Tina&#39;s childhood, and fi you listen to the lyrics is quite sad. The track&#39;s gone through a lot of changes since the first version and has a more organic sound now. Please do give it a boost if you like it, or even if you don&#39;t...thanks. #NewMusic

Morning friends. Still moving through the track on the forthcoming Tina Christian album, I&#39;ll Always Have A Song. Track 11 is a downtempo track asking a simple question....what&#39;s next. This is a newer track so I think has only had one previous version. I hope you like it. Please boost for additional reach...thanks.

Afternoon friends. Sorry I&#39;m late with today&#39;s Tina Christian track. I actually posted this 3 weeks ago, but doing it for completeness here. this is the track where Suno was provided a photograph and asked to write a song based on what it saw, and it did it so well, Imade a few changes lyrically and added a guitar, the track is pretty much unchanged. If you like it, please give it a boost...thanks.

Morning friends. Today&#39;s song will be familiar to anyone who&#39;s been following Tina for a while. A version of this track was released as part of the WhenThe World Ends EP out earlier this year and as a latin pop mix on the Carnival album. This is the original more uptempo arrangement that sits well on the album. I hope you like it. Please boost for extra reach and, well because you can...thanks.

Morning guys, Some things just happen out of the blue with no warning when it comes to inspiration. This is a brand new Tina Christian track, I don't even know if it belongs on a future album or just as a stand-alone number because it different to anything else she's done. It started off as an instrumental with me just uploading me beat boxing and playing a melody over it. I like the vibe of the isntrumental, so I gave it some lyrics and it literally took me 3 minutes to write the ly...

Hi friends I have been mithering about the vocal quality on some of my Tina Christian tracks for the forthcoming album because I want to get it right and have everything sounding as good as it possibly can. However, I have just been listening to some of the new releases, and I have noticed something, especially regarding vocal recordings. Some of them are absolutely dreadful. I wouldn't have let them out of the studio, let alone uploaded to streaming platforms and Taking people's money....

Morning all. Back in the 1980s, thomas Dolby release a little known track called "I Scare Myself" and it's one of my all time Dolby Favourites, so I wondered what would happen if Tina Christian got hold of it. I produced several versions and loved them all, but I thought I'd show you the most unhinged version that twists a song about jealousy into something a little disturbing. Boosts always appreciated.

Morning friends. Continueing going through Tina Christian&#39;s next album release, due out on 19th June. This is track 2 from the album The Future&#39;s Calling You. It&#39;s a song called Summer and recalls the summers of youth, whether that&#39;s generic or Tina&#39;s youth is not specified. This is actually quite an early Tina track and was written when I was still figuring out Suno and AI in general. However, it&#39;s gone through lots of changes and is a much bet...

Morning friends. Tina Christian&#39;s The Future&#39;s Calling You album will be released on 19th June, so I thought I&#39;d drop a track a day in here until the end of May. Here&#39;s track 3, kinda cute and whimsicle and is all about take pelasure in finding those quiet places in the day and not getting swept along with the rat race. Oddly enough this is one of those song that started off as a k-pop track in Korean and not as a Tina Christian song at all. If you enjoy it, p...

Morning friends. OK, not a Tina Christian track. This is a suno produced track featuring my own singing voice, nicely polished up by Suno, but it is definitely me and I could definitely sing all the parts. So I thought I writing a track about a guy who wishes he had start quality, but rather than being Bruno Mars, he more like Frank Bruno from mars. If nothing else it&#39;s fun and funky.

You know I&#39;ve noticed something. The anti AI folks generally are incredibly judgmental about those who choose to use the tools available to them in what ever way they see fit. I don&#39;t think I&#39;ve ever seen a judgmental post from someone who has embraced the tools against those who simply refuse flat out. You do what you wanna do your way and let those who want to do it differently go about their business. The world is always changing ever since the year dot, deal with...

Morning all. I posted the original of this Tina Christian track a few weeks ago, but I&#39;ve been working on it since, changed a few lyrics and it&#39;s been beefed up a bit. It won&#39;t be for everyone, it&#39;s a lot harder than most of Tina&#39;s earlier stuff, but I think it has a really catchy chorus. If you like it, please do boost it and share it around...thanks.

Morning friends. I&#39;m putting together a collection of Tina Christian tracks that just get filed away in a folder called Single tracks. This folder allows me to experiment with different music styles, lyrics concepts etc and some of these tracks have actually been oved into album folders. This is the latest track. It&#39;s quite haunting and one of those late night tracks, has both a spacious feel but intimate at the same time, it&#39;s like Tina&#39;s mouth is right up aga...

It&#39;s me again friends. Just finished redoing a track that I based around a sample of D-Train&#39;s You&#39;re The One For Me. The original sample was very obvious, so I&#39;ve tinkered with it so that it differs from the D-Train track enough that I think I can probably get away with releasing it lol. Anyway, it&#39;s a nice bubbly summer dance track that I hope you like.

Morning friends. I thought I&#39;d share a Tina Christian track that won&#39;t be released to the streaming platforms, but will be available directly from me through tina&#39;s website once it&#39;s ready. It&#39;s from an album called Melody of Shadows which will be the title of the first novel in the series. You could almost say that it&#39;s a concept album and a companion to the story itself as it tracks Tina&#39;s story arc. It&#39;s quite a dark album, b...

Afternoon friends. Time for a Tina track, literally completed an hour ago. This particular track started off as a kind of hip-hop K-Pop track, but I thought if I could get the styling right, it would be a great Tina track lyrically. So, this track has taken at least 18 months to complete. Who said using AI is a short cut lol. So, here&#39;s Tina Christian with History On Replay, taken from the forthcoming album The Future&#39;s Calling You, which I&#39;m hoping to release toward...

Oh my word. the new Suno V5.5 update is bonkers. You can now clone your voice and use it as a persona which they have now renamed voices. I&#39;ve cloned my voice and it sound uncannily like me all be it a polished version of me.

Morning friends, I&#39;ve been holding off sharing this one until I was at least 90% happy with it. I&#39;m now 90% happy with it lol. If this doesn&#39;t move you in some way, I&#39;d suggest booking in with a technician and checking that you&#39;re not an AI construct lol. For those interested in the workflow for producing this track, read on. For those who just want to hear the song, go ahead. I wanted to produce a series of songs based on classical or public domain m...
